I recently traded for a 10" .44 mag barrel and had to get out today to see how it shoots. After just a few rounds of 270 gr Speer GDSP over W296, I was very impressed with the group I was getting, not to mention the scope I mounted was dead on with no adjustment. I wanted to see what velocity I was getting with this load, but didn't have my tripod along, so I just set my Chrony out on the snow bank. As I was about to shoot, I was thinking I should put my shade rods on it so I'll know how far I'm holding over it. Not to be bothered with such minor things, I went ahead and shot, jerking the trigger in the process. On the plus side, I now know that this round will give complete penetration on a Chrony, not that I ever plan to shoot one again. I fired two more shots across it (a little more carefully this time) and was surprised to find that it was still working.
